Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Douglas, ND.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
